perf/x86/intel: Don't extend the pseudo-encoding to GP counters

The INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST event (0x0100) doesn't count on SPR.
perf stat -e cpu/event=0xc0,umask=0x0/,cpu/event=0x0,umask=0x1/ -C0

Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

607,246 cpu/event=0xc0,umask=0x0/
0 cpu/event=0x0,umask=0x1/

The encoding for INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST is pseudo-encoding, which
doesn't work on the generic counters. However, current perf extends its
mask to the generic counters.

The pseudo event-code for a fixed counter must be 0x00. Check and avoid
extending the mask for the fixed counter event which using the
pseudo-encoding, e.g., ref-cycles and PREC_DIST event.

With the patch,
perf stat -e cpu/event=0xc0,umask=0x0/,cpu/event=0x0,umask=0x1/ -C0

Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

583,184 cpu/event=0xc0,umask=0x0/
583,048 cpu/event=0x0,umask=0x1/
